projects that will help our community for generations to come.

Museum that will include a planetarium and state-of-the-art
360-degree theater.

- Haynie's Corner #2 on National List
February 26th, 2008
ArtCalendar.com named HCAD as #2 on the list
of
Great Towns for Working Artists. Art Calendar is
a well-connected and established entity that produces a magazine
and website by the same name. This is an honor for the city of
Evansville, and it clearly shows the potential we have.
The fact that this arts district showed well on a national stage
bodes well for our home-grown artists as well as those looking
to move and contribute to our community.

a fantastic centerpiece to the Arts District and bridge the gap
between several generations.
